Beyond the Years
Mark Patterson.
A song of hope for the future, this well-crafted piece is great for young mixed
choirs, with conservative ranges, interesting lines to sing in each part, and a
warm section of harmony with a key change variant in the bridge. American
poet Paul Laurence Dunbar's text is especially appropriate for a moving-up
ceremony or as a ballad in a contest set.
